-Obama is now, after two years of absence, desperately seeking
someone, anyone, to join in the attack upon Syria for Assad’s use of chemical
weapons (nerve gas) upon his people.No one is stepping forward.Not because they view Assad’s crimes against humanity as OK.Not because they think Assad should not be
punished.No, It’s because they don’t want to follow an
Incompetent Discredited Chicago Community Organizer into combat and perhaps a
war.-It’s not clear that any soldier ever wants to follow a
leader into combat whose publically viewed military leadership style is to “lead from
behind”!There’s a reason Infantry Officers have a large white
vertical tape on the back of their helmets; it’s so they can “lead their troops
from the front”!-Obama's minions are now rewriting history to try to
salvage Obama’s bacon.They’re
disparaging Bush’s actions leading up to the Iraq invasion with total lies.The truth is:Bush had over two dozen countries signed up and committed as
a “coalition of the willing”.Bush had a vote by both houses of Congress authorizing the
attack.The United Nation passed a resolution authorizing the attack.NATO was the key partner in ousting Sadam.There was concrete evidence that Sadam had gassed the Kurds.Sadam bragged to the world that he had WMDs.-Obama doesn’t have any of these supporting positions.What he has is his circle of cronies and two
big Teleprompters.-Just More Hope and Change We Can Believe In!-http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2013/08/obama-finds-sadams-wmd-that-bush.html-

Clearly MLK was a major force
for positive change at a point when “the time was right”.He inspired those who followed him and
disarmed those who opposed him.Wouldn’t
it be wonderful to have such leadership in our Country today!The past 50 years have seen a major change in
the opportunities for our people of color.Many have been able to utilize those expanded opportunities but
unfortunately many have been unable to do so.

-

Unfortunately for all of us
and particularly those who are disadvantaged there continues to be those who B.T.
Washington described in his book as:

-

“There is another class of coloured people who
make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the
Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a
living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of
advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because
it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances,
because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

Unfortunately many of our
leaders in America and in Washington belong to
this negative “class” and continue to disrespect those who are falling behind
by making them more and more dependent instead of helping to make them
independent and self-sufficient.No
better examples exist than the dismal failures of inter-city schools and the
disintegration of the family-unit.

-

Perhaps the most import act
we could accomplish on behalf of B.T. Washington and MLK would be to help all
disadvantaged persons to get the skill and knowledge they need to achieve a
good standard of living for themselves and their families.

A most inspiring image for
all is the statute at the entrance to TuskegeeUniversity in Alabama:

-

-

Let us hope that going
forward the positive voices of help and reinforcement will drown-out the
negative voices of those whose very income and importance is tied to racial strife,
conflict and race and class warfare.

Miley Cyrus And MTV PrimeTime Debauchery

-

PrimeTime family TV
experienced yet another low in American culture courtesy of our leading-edge
Progressive Media.Instead of reacting
with some semblance of dignity the rest of the major media obsessed over this
breakthrough in broadcasting garbage and even gave it a new distinctive
name.

-

How can anyone wonder why
American society and culture has been so diminished and tarnished during the
past 50 years.The Progressive Media
will soon promote full-scale pornography during family PrimeTime programming
because there’s not many options left for them to extend and exploit their
Caligula based culture.

-

Where are the keepers and
stewards of our Traditional American culture and decorum?Perhaps they are gone with the Greatest
Generation and we are now in the hands of the ancestors of ancient Rome.What a Joy!

8-25-2013, Pg 1, 14: Syria
says US
strike may start wider warPg Horiz 3: UN Chemical weapons inspections in Syria:
Preparing for the pitfalls-Obama: “I” got Bin Laden, Bush didn’t and now “I” found Sadam's
WMD Nerve Gas that Bush couldn’t.Unfortunately for hundreds of Syrians, it showed up in
rockets landing in their communities indiscriminately killing innocent women
and children.During the many months the UN “Iraq Inspectors” dillied and
dallied, Sadam moved the Nerve Gas that was left-over from gassing the Kurds to his
friends in Syria;
and now here it is again working just like new.-Unfortunately, while “we” waited for over a year to help the
freedom fighters in Syria (and we still have not given them any meaningful
help), the really bad guys (Radical Muslim Terrorists) from all over the Middle
East have moved in and are poised to take over the country.-We now don’t have a clue how to help the “good” guys; we
don’t even know who the “good” guys are anymore!Isn’t this how we got Khomeini in Iran
and Castro in Cuba and Morsi
in Egypt?-But the good news is that Obama found the WMD Nerve Gas that
Bush couldn’t!-Just More Hope and Change We can Believe in!--Obama The
Denier - Syrian Nerve Gas

News Media Embraces Sexually Confused Traitor

Pvt Bradley Manning, US Army soldier, found guilty of being a traitor to his county by revealing thousands of important classified documents has now become a celebrity to all those who are fixated on sexually confused and disoriented persons.Apparently being a convicted traitor is of less news-worthy interest than which bathroom he wishes to use.

-

Manning has publicized pictures of himself in-drag and declares he is now on his way to being female.That’s not clear.What is clear is that he’s on his way to Leavenworth Prison where perhaps there are inmates that may help him sort out his sexual ambivalence.

-

Of curious note is the Roanoke Times’ ongoing fixation and publication of articles like this about sexually confused persons.This is yet another very long article that is short on Manning’s crimes against the United States but very long on the details of his sexuality issues.

-

Is this subject really worthy of such RT literary talent and volumes of ink and paper?Who selects this stuff and how does it rate compared to the entire local, Va, US and world real news?Aren’t the rags at “check-out” covering this salacious stuff enough?

Liberal Media Coddles Oklahoma Teen Assassins

-

The liberal major media is
coddling the three teen Oklahoma
assassins by explaining that their motivation for their cold bloodied killing
of a young visiting Australian baseball player was because they were “BOORED”!

Exactly how gross and
disgusting is that characterization?

What is the matter with
these people?

-

One of the killers had
written on his FaceBook page vicious anti-white statements, but no one in the
Obama DOJ administration or the liberal media is mentioning the word “racial
hate crime”.No – it was just boredom!

-

There are those who are
calling these three cold bloodied killers “feral”.Perhaps even that doesn’t begin to explain the
motivation and callous disregard for human life that pervades these pseudo-humans.For someone to shoot a totally innocent unknown
person in the back there must be something so evil within them that it can’t be
explained or understood by rational persons.But this surly doesn’t involve “boredom”!

-

The baby assassination case
in Georgia
by teenagers is getting a somewhat more evenhanded treatment by the media.As part of an on-the-street robbery of a
mother pushing her 13 month old son in a stroller the teens shot her in the leg
and then murdered the child after a threatening count-down.At least the media isn’t calling this a
boredom case.

Obama The Denier - Syrian Nerve Gas

Roanoke Times, 8-22-2013, Pg 3: Chemical weapons alleged in deadly attack."The White House said the US was "deeply concerned" by the reports".-Obama deeply concerned! Really? Apparently not nearly as concerned as he is about Trayvon Martin and vilifying George Zimmerman! Talk about a total disconnect with context and perspective and personal values.-

The issue is no longer
Obama’s totally discredited warnings about a “Red Line” or how many UN
inspectors it takes to investigate mass murders or where Bashar
al-Assad's gas stockpiles are located.

-

The issue now is the reality
of nerve gas being used on civilians including women and children as clearly
shown in today’s awful news videos.

-

As a young Army Officer I
watched films showing animals being subjected to VX nerve gas.This was done to instill a deep and profound
respect for this weapon and the need for all our soldiers to be proficient with
masks and shelter and atropine.

During my time in the field
in Germany
from 1961 to 1964 we had a mask and a large atropine injector on our
belts.If exposed, we were to don our
masks and inject ourselves in the thigh and then stick the injector through our
collar so that the medics who found us would know we had an initial dose.

-

Today’s TV video of the
gassed Syrian civilians, especially the children, brought back the disturbing
visions of those laboratory animals I witnessed 50 years ago

-

This is yet another sad chapter
in the Arab Spring that Obama and associates were so quick to embrace and
support and take credit for.

Perhaps he has been watching
the children on TV, struggling for their last breath, wracked with convulsions
as the VX destroys their nervous system and shuts down their vital organs.

-

There’s a name for those who
have the ability to help, but instead standby and watch awful things happen to
innocent people.It’s not a nice word!

-

What a contrast with Obama’s speech in March 2011 on Libya:

"To brush aside America's
responsibility as a leader and - more profoundly - our responsibilities to our
fellow human beings under such circumstances would have been a betrayal of who
we are," Obama said. "Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to
atrocities in other countries. The United States of America is
different. And as president, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and
mass graves before taking action."

That $67 Million of taxpayer money is not going for real HealthCare
– it’s going to groups the Obama Administration views as “socially friendly” to
find people to get onto the ObamaCare program.Rather like the 16,000 new IRS agents who will be “administrating”
ObamaCare – haven’t heard anything about more doctors or nurses – have you?

The survey of 2,500 federal employees and retirees found that 92.3
percent of them believe workers and retirees should keep
their current health insurance and not be forced to purchase
coverage through the exchanges.

And that includes the IRS managers and agents who are going to “administer”
this mess.

The Obama Administration
has confirmed a third delay in the Affordable Care Act’s rocky road to
implementation with the pushback on the limit of out-of-pocket costs some
consumers will pay for coverage. The consumer protection part of the law limits health insurance deductibles
and co-payments from exceeding $6,350 for individuals and $12,700 for families
was supposed to go into effect next year, but has been delayed to 2015.

-

And the Roanoke Times just keeps rolling out articles explaining
how wonderful ObamaCare is and how wonderful it will be.Fits in well with their Pravda mantra.

Obama’s Egyptian Muslim Brother Hood In Turmoil

-

The Muslim BrotherHood persevered
in the election a year ago but instead of acts of inclusion and progress they
immediately set out to create a Sharia based exclusive system.Their sustained attacks upon Coptic
Christians included burning down their churches and mass murders, most of which went
unchallenged and largely unreported.Apparently the White House get-togethers was just more talk:

It appears that the Egyptian
Military concluded that they were next to be undermined and deposed by radical
young BrotherHood officers and soldiers who were more committed to Sharia law
than the majority of Egyptian people, many of whom appear to want a moresecular, moderateand economically focused government.Perhaps they reflected back to the assassination of Anwar
Sadat by fundamentalist young army officers.

-

Based on the perceived
threat, the Military moved decisively to remove Morsi and his associates from
power.They are now confronting the
BrotherHood in a do or die clash of ideology and control and survival.

-

It appears the Military has
“crossed the Rubicon” and there is no respite or turning back.They now must proceed with the 4-F’s of Army
warfare: FIND, FIX, FIGHT AND FINISH the enemy.This will result in a country-wide war with thousands of dead, wounded
and displaced.Spill-over into other
countries is a real possibility and could result in a regional disaster.

-

The U.S. and much
of the Western World do not have the stomach for such encounters.Visions of Charlemagne confronting the Saracens (Muslims) are historical episodes beyond our
conscientiousness and comprehension.

-

In real life,
many of our choices involve picking the least bad option.This is such a time.You are either with the Muslim BrotherHood or
you are against them and therefore are forced to embrace the Middle-East axiom:
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

“Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Quick, send in the clowns.Don't bother - they're here!”

-

The protectors of “Their
Prince” swarmed all over and severely gored a Rodeo Clown who had the audacity to
wear an Obama mask and make Rodeo fun of Obama.

-

Wow!Making fun of and mocking The President.Something new.No one ever made public fun of George Bush
nor did they equate him to Hitler nor did they ever wish him “Severe Ill Will”.

Just Google:ImagesCartoons George Bush.And then
reflect back on the almost daily vile and nasty remarks by the crew at MSNBC
and their left-wing associates.All done
without any push-back from the sensitive and caring liberals.-

-

--

The real hypocrisy here is
that it’s the left-wing Obama lovers who always profess their love for free and
open and unencumbered speech!They have
been constantly labeling those who oppose Obama’s policies and practices as
racist.Apparently they are now going to
raise their jihad to a whole new level in suppressing criticism of their main
man.

-

Based on the Obama team’s
abuse of government power via the DOJ, IRS and ATF and their supporters in the
Pravda Press it behooves those of the Loyal Opposition to be mindful of just
how nasty and vindictive this gang can be.

-

Yesterday Google announced a
new insight into your vulnerability.They announced that you have no expectation or reason to believe that the contents of your
GoggleMail is private!This from Eric
Schmidt, head of Google, one of Obama’s major inside operatives:

600 (And Counting) Faulty AGW Global Warming Temperature Stations

-Not found in any of the five
Roanoke Times Pro-AGW-Alarmists articles they published last week.They are so selective – it’s really hard to
call it a “News Paper”, it’s actually more like an "Obama press release" outlet.

Data from hundreds of
weather stations located around the U.S. appear to show the planet is
getting warmer, but some critics say it's the government's books that are
getting cooked -- thanks to temperature readings from sweltering parking lots,
airports and other locations that distort the true state of the climate.

-

Indeed, the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration has closed some 600 out of nearly 9,000 weather
stations over the past two years that it has deemed problematic or unnecessary,
after a long campaign by one critic highlighting the problem of using
unreliable data.The agency says the closures will help improve gathering of
weather data, but critics like meteorologist and blogger Anthony Watts say it is too little, too late.

This in the face of the
clear facts that this path is not leading to improved quality of life for our
people at a personal or society level.

-

How can having boys with
boy-parts using the girls room and girls with girl-parts using the boys room
result in good healthy outcomes for any of the students?

Just more Ultra-Progressive
social experiments being forced upon people without any recourse or options for
parental responsibilities or values.

-

The Progressives can’t fix or
improve the broken academic public school systems. As an alternative, they implement programs to
by-pass the parents with programs for condoms, abortions, abortion-pills, and
sexual identity experiments.

What a Joy for those who
view Family Values and Responsibilities as important.

You Should Be An AGW Skeptic

An AGW-Skeptic is an

Obama Sending GITMO Detainees To Help Open Our Embassy’s In Yemen?

-

Obama standing
by decision to lift moratorium on releasing GuantanamoBay prisoners back to Yemen.

-

The president is standing by that announcement, even
though Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the Al Qaeda affiliate in Yemen that
U.S. intelligence officials say is now the greatest Al Qaeda threat to the U.S.
homeland, was formed in part by several former Guantanamo Bay detainees who
were released in 2006.

Perhaps there was a good
reason to put these ineradicably bad characters in GITMO in the first place.Clearly those who have been released have
gone back to wherever to continue their Jihad.

-

Perhaps there’s an upside to
all this – release them – and then use them for drone practice.Obama has bragged about his role as summary
executioner and this may fit in nicely with those photos from the
situation/execution room.

Obama Says al-Qaida Has Been Decimated – Let’s Shut Down Our Embassy’s And Get Out Of Town Quick

Let’s try to help Obama by segueing
from the real issues of the US
under attack across the Muslim World and instead talk about surveillance on millions
of US citizens in the US
– that has nothing to do with the 19 posts being shut down.

-

WASHINGTON (AP) — The State
Department on Tuesday ordered non-essential personnel at the U.S. Embassy in
Yemen to leave the country following the threat by al-Qaida that has triggered
temporary shutdowns of 19 American diplomatic posts across the Middle East and Africa.

The daily Radical Muslim
Terrorist attacks in Iraq
and Afghanistan including
the prison attacks releasing hundreds of the most violent and now the
intimidation of the US
government into shutting down 19 posts belies these premature claims of “Mission
Accomplished The War is Ended”.

-

Obama can claim “The Wars
Are Ended” but apparently the Radical Muslim Terrorists who are waging the wars
against us haven’t gotten the word.

Perhaps all this is just
more potential “Workplace Violence” like we had at Ft.Hood.
